George Drew’s new book of poetry, Fancy’s Orphan, is available from Tiger Bark Press. Poet Wendy Barker says: “George Drew’s newest collection, Fancy’s Orphan, offers poems that are often literary, with echoes of Heidegger, Keats, Frost, Yeats, and Rilke; yet they are never pedantic, but always sensually vivid and often deliciously, wryly, subtly humorous.”
